UAV Electronics System Engineer

Role OverviewThe UAV Electronic Systems Engineer will lead the design and integration of electronic control systems for UAVs. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role involving control systems architecture, embedded software development, and electromechanical integration. You will collaborate closely with aircraft and engine development teams to bring cutting-edge UAV technology demonstrators to life.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and develop the electronic control system architecture for of UAV propulsion and flight control systemsIntegrate and configure flight controllers and engine control units with onboard avionics, sensors, and communication modulesDevelop and implement embedded software/firmware for control, safety, and telemetry functionsApply systems engineering principles to ensure seamless integration of electronics, software, and mechanical componentsSupport testing, debugging, and validation of integrated electromechanical UAV systemsCollaborate with internal teams and external partners to meet system-level performance and reliability goalsDocument system design, software and hardware interfaces, and integration processesQualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/ Engineering, or a related fieldNotable experience with electronic system design and embedded control systems for UAVs or robotic platformsProficiency in embedded software development, scripting, real-time operating systems, and software/hardware integrationFamiliarity with electromechanical systems, sensors, communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, MAVLink, I2C), and PCB designExperience with computer modeling and simulation of electro-mechanical systems (validate prior to build).Experience working with UAV flight controllers, autopilot systems (e.g., PX4, ArduPilot)History of hands-on work in a fast-paced, collaborative R&D environmentSelf-driven, disciplined, committed to quality and meeting deadlines
